In part, her letter read:

"Michael left a lasting impression on so many, more than he ever could have dreamt. He was kind, strong yet gentle, funny, and thoughtful. He was so much more than any words I can try to put together. On that day, like so many, Michael was brave. There is a hole in our hearts that can never be filled. Michael will forever be missed and so very loved for the rest of our lives."
